NER, aged nineteen years and eight
months. Clint. rs he was fondly cali
cd, was an only son and brother of
doting parents and ilo.izing sisters,
He bore bis affliclions with great pa
thence aud said il was the Lords work.
Oh! it is 50 hard to give him up, Just
as he was blooming into manhood,
and was the promised support md
comfort Of our aged parents; but The
ways of Providence are my sterious TO
us. still we know the Lord docth all
things well. A few moments before
the spark of life had fed, he reached
ioril, his feeble hands and clasped in
each n band of two..hcart-broken sis
tiers that stood by his bed, and with Il
tender and affecting look, tina, seemed
to say, sisters farewell.
Thcn.farewell brother. God hath called thee
Toa brighter world oh high.
Leave the gates ajar, we are coming,
Yes, coming ~byc-and-byc.

There arc two classes of politicians
who are not taking kindly TO Mr.. Clevc'
lands administration. One is the ram
pant Republican element composed OF
men who are disgrunllcd whenever d
confederate brigadier turns up in Off
ciai station; the other, disaiIccted Dem,
ocra,s who are chronic office seekers
aud arc otcrually complainin. because
their party services have not been rec
ogniscd. Both these classes arc made
up OF narrow minded men who SEE
nothing but from these respective
standpoints. Still the administration
goes on smoothly, unswcrvcd by the
persistent complaints of those who
think they could run the government
to better advantage.

Creamery Benefits.

Human nature is a queer compound
add II crops just rs qGecr.y Among
farmers - anywhcrs else. We acr re-
min led Of this "queernes>' ny a letter
received irom i farmer concerning n
creamery in his nc'IhbUrhuo,i, against
" hich lie makes bitter complaint and
waat to know OF us ii We do EOt really
think that crcamerics are organized
to beat The iarmors. Now ii we had
not been called unon n number OF
times 10 settle disputes between
creamcrics and patrons, aud found
such a wide spread misunderstanding
among farmers OF the real mission ui
the creamery, we should not pay any
attention to this letter. BIT il seems
as a good chance to state what we be-
lieye to be facts in the matter.
In corresponding with the farmer
mentioned above, we asked him rs TO
the real cause of his grievance. and
found that there were Two. First, he
complained OF the oil test. lie did
not propose ''to he bound down TO
any such rule AS that WI suggested
that he keep his milk at home for a
son, r. ,Lr rrn,n,rry and then tryiur
tho same number Of Mounds by max.
inc il nm a, home. TO see If i, had the
came hn,,pr richness thn, the cream
crv gave him. lie did SO and found.
TO his establishment, that the OIL test
was gua4ing his butter yield very
closely.
I,is other compl,int WAS that the
creamc V was robbing him bv not
naviuy "a murh nor inch rs tho mark.
q, demanded, lie wa, getting y cts.
an inch and Elpin creamery was quot.
oil .tha, wcck ~ r,s. II is certainly
worth the difference to gather the
cream and manufacture the butter,
and take the risk of shortage with the
farmer of whom the cream is bought.
and the dealer to whom the butter is
sold. AT the time our friend was
complaining about getting II cts. an
inch for his cream, his local merchant
was paving only 10 to l2 cts. for but.
ter and our friend acknowledged that
he had always before sold his butter
to the local merchant. A somewhat
lcnuihy corrcspoHdepcc convinced us
that our friend was being fairly and
honestly dealt bv aud that he was get.
ting sll for his cream that the market
would permit. As we expected, how
ever. he charged us with being leagucd
in the interest OF the creamery and
down on the poor patron. We be-
licyc in the creamery and believe that
il is doing the dairvmeu of the coun.
try a great service, but if it could on.
Is take some ofthcse complaining, mar.

make them over into decent, intclli-

Inf1ammable Breath.

There is a. brief reference, in recent
number of Science to a. remarkable
case In. which the breath of an iadiyid-
ual, or.rather the eructations from his
stomach, took fire when broa chit in
contact with a lighted match. This case.
which was reported in the Medical Rec
ord. has, called forth communications
from ysicians, by which it would APP
pear that the phenomenon is not such
.. rare one as was at first supposed. IN
one case OF disordezed digestion the
patient emitted inHanalnab able gas from
the naonth, which, Upon analysis, was
found to be largely composed Of marsh
gas. In another casethe gas was sulphu-
retted hydrogen. A case is reported in
the British Medical Journal, in which,
while blowing out match. the patients
breath caught fire with a noise like the
report of pistol, which was loud
enough to awaken his wife. Cine eyen-
